Job Summary

The Middle East, Turkey & Africa Elevator Programme (all placements will be located in MEA)

What is the Aim of the Programme?

The Elevator General Manager programme aims to develop a group of talented, internationally mobile people and fast track them to General Management positions within 5-8 years of starting the Programme.

What will I do?

During your placements, you will combine operational, all-around experience working in the 4 main hotel business areas of Operations, Business Development, Human Resources, and Finance.

You will also participate in off-the-job training and have business driven projects to complete.

During Elevator your progress is constantly assessed, so you always know how you are developing. As the programme is so flexible, it will take into account all the training that you have had to date and build on it, rather than making you repeat things unnecessarily.

Where will I be?

The location of your placements will depend on availability and the languages you speak.

When will I start?

The 2019 MEA Elevator Program starts on 01 September 2019.

Learning & Development

During your 18-month training, you will take part in four residential courses.

As an Elevator participant, you will also have access to the Hilton University, our online learning, and development tool, through which you can complete e-learning courses, learn a language online and make use of our online business library.

Support all the Way

Elevator participants are supported throughout their career progression with the Elevator Mentoring Programme where senior managers within Hilton take on the role of Mentors.

Are you someone who is Smart? Passionate? Ambitious? These are the questions that we ask any potential candidate before they apply to the Elevator Programme.
